The haters win again as Netflix cancels Haters Back Off
If 2017's taught us anything, it’s that you can generally count on the haters to ultimate bring home the win. So it’s with a noted lack of surprise that we report—courtesy of Deadline—that Netflix has officially pulled the plug on YouTube sensation Miranda Sings’ two-season comedy series Haters Back Off.
The series starred comedian Colleen Ballinger as Miranda, a delusional would-be viral star attempt to navigate the most meager-possible trappings of fame with the help of her mom (The Office’s Angela Kinsey) and manager uncle (The Grinder’s Steve Little). The streaming service renewed the series for a second season last year—adding Upright Citizens Brigade co-founder Matt Besser into the mix as Miranda’s dirtbag dad—but decided to pull the plug after two. (Meanwhile, with 8 million-plus subscribers, the Miranda Sings YouTube channel remains one of the most popular on the service.)
